What campers are saying
Summarized by AI
The campsite scores with its fantastic location right on the Ardèche, complete with its own beach area. Campers particularly enjoy the shady, green site with mature trees and the well-maintained pool area. Good to know for the trip: Anyone heading here should be prepared for sanitary facilities that are partly getting on in years.

Nice campsite with attentive staff. When the wind was expected to blow hard one night, a staff member walked around the campsite to personally inform everyone about it regarding the tents / awnings. Pitch/Rental accommodation: The pitches were very spacious.

Cédric T

Family
Pros
The campsite is well laid out, and the mobile homes are of good quality. There is plenty of greenery, which was very pleasant and peaceful. The grocery staff were very friendly. Location/Rental accommodation: Very good, but missing a cutting board, with a capricious toilet flush. The TV was of very poor quality, with sound that was truly inaudible.
Cons
At this time there was no entertainment. The charging spots for cars are being used by people who do not have electric cars, making it impossible to charge. Two out of four charging stations seem to be non-functional, which is unfortunate. The pool was cold on Sunday and does not appear to be heated.

Frequently asked questions about the campsite RCN-Camping La Bastide en Ardèche
How is the access to the water at RCN la Bastide en Ardèche?
The campsite is located directly on the Ardèche and offers a beautiful pebble and sand beach near the bridge. It is perfect for jumping straight into the river, canoeing, or simply relaxing on the shore.
What does the pool area offer and how shady are the pitches?
A fantastic heated outdoor pool with a paddling pool and water slide for the kids awaits you. Thanks to the mature leafy trees, the pitches are wonderfully shady, so you will find a cool spot even on hot summer days. In addition, some pitches even have their own bathroom.
Are there any special features of the terrain that I should know before booking?
Yes, the dense tree cover provides great shade but slightly limits the width and height of the paths. Access is therefore rather tricky for very large motorhomes or caravans. Part of the campsite borders a road, but a new noise barrier keeps the noise level comfortably low.
What prices and additional costs should I expect at the campsite?
